Welcome to Amar Seva Sangam (ASSA)

Amar Seva Sangam (ASSA) is a premier organisation in the field of disability management focusing on rural areas,
located in Ayikudy Village in Tirunelveli District in South Tamil Nadu.

Our approach is to establish a centralised resource center to act as a catalyst for change in the development
of differently abled and intellectually challenged. We do this by involving the village community in the
process.

Amar Seva Sangam (ASSA) established by Mr. Ramakrishnan, in the international year of the Disabled to cater
to disability management focusing on rural areas.
